Ultra m998 Review

Testing:

To properly test this computer case, I will be testing idle temperatures as well as full load temperatures. To test the idle temperatures, I will let the computer sit for 30 minutes at idle. To test load, I will run a one hour OCCT stress test with a blend of both CPU and RAM, set at normal priority. I will be using SpeedFan Version 4.32 to gather my system chipset, CPU core, and hard drive temperature readings.

Testing Setup:

Intel E6600 @ 3400MHz

GA-P35-DQ6

G. Skill DDR800 @ 850MHz 4-4-4-10-2T

ATI Radeon HD3850

OCZ 700W GameXStream

Western Digital 320GB 16MB Cache SATA

Lite-on DVD-RW

Ultra m998 (Case)

Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 (Case)

Sigma Atlantis (Case)

Thermaltake Armour Extreme Edition (Case)

Windows XP with Service Pack 2

I will be comparing the Ultra m998 to the Thermaltake Armour Extreme Edition (containing one rear 120mm fan, one rear 90mm fan, one front 120mm fan, and one top 90mm fan), as well as the Sigma Atlantis (with four 120mm fans; one in the rear, one in the front, and two on the side) as well as the Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 (which has four 120mm fans; one in the rear, one on the bottom, and two on the top). All temperatures are in degrees Celsius.
